Mr. President, was Joe Wilson right?

There is no question that Representative Joe Wilson was rude and out of order when he shouted out "you lie!". But now, Mr. President, you must answer a more important question about his conduct...was he rude and out of order...but right? You are on tape numerous times telling the American people that the conference discussions about the health care legislation should be transparent, "on C-SPAN "...and would be in your administration. You said that the American people had a right to see what deals were being made, and what constituents favored. Yet, up to this moment, you sit silently condoning Ms. Pelosi's derisive dismissal of any such thing.

Were you sincere, Mr. President...were you telling the truth about your commitment to "transparency"? Or was Joe Wilson right?
